GOP Has never understood that,,,,,

[Cryptoad]

a healthy robust economy is directly related to how much discretionary money the working class has to spend after all their bills are paid at the end of the month, not Tax cuts to the upper class and biz! It took us 17 years to recover from the last time the GOP gave tax cuts to the Rich. Here we go again!

1. They understand but they just dont give a damn.

As long as their donors get that tax cut, they can sleep at night.

5. They don't know any poor people.

Nor moderately middle class. They're securing the bankrolls of their own.

2. Voters in the GOP wont believe this, too brainwashed

and their owners dont care about our economy.

They care about everywhere else where they make their profits off of cheap labor.

They dont need us anymore.

We are done. SS is gone, Medicare, food assistance, even roads and bridges etc. They dont need anything from us anymore here and they own us.

3. It's so simple

but no one says this. I keep waiting for the MSM to stop all the blah blah blah nonsense and just explain it simply. It really is simple. My version of this explanation is that "if you want to help the middle class, give the money directly to the middle class." There are many ways you can do that, like infrastructure spending. It's easy to understand with an explanation of the multiplier effect, but the MSM doesn't understand how to simplify and educate.

Of course, maybe I'm assuming they want anyone to understand it. My bad.

4. They intellectually understand. They just (1) can't imagine ever not having

discretionary money (so it is a matter of how much, not if there is any),

(2) they refuse to accept the lessons of history about what policies actually put money in working class hands, and

(3) no matter how rich you are - most people don't believe they have enough discretionary money - so putting money from their (too small) discretionary funds into the hands of others who have discretionary money {see#1} into someone else's discretionary funds is unfair - after all, in their perception, they earned it - creating discretionary money for the working class by growing jobs makes the working class earn it rather than taking it from people who already earned their own.
